Blue Exorcist will be available in the US and Canada starting on Wednesday 4/20 at 10 a.m. PST.

Rin, along with his twin brother Yukio Okumura are raised by an eminent priest, Shiro Fujimoto, but one day Rin discovers that their biological father is actually Satan! As the border between “Assiah” (the human world) and “Gehenna” (demon’s world) is intruded upon by evils, Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist to defeat his own father, Satan. To hone his raw skills, Rin enters True Cross Academy to train with other exorcist candidates.

I noticed over on ANN that lots of streaming services are getting this show, but they are region restricting it to U.S. and Canada only.

Are premium users getting this show ad free here on Crunchyroll?

The restrictions seem to be definitely a decision made in Japan. It is definitely unfair to the English speaking audience outside of the U.S. and Canada, especially the ones who are paying a premium here on Crunchyroll. I wish the guys on the Japan side would at least make an exception for the premium users on sites like this one....
